Not perfect, but it might be a useful source > of inspiration. But then you can't use C-s to search in the minibuffer history. This is the same problem as in bug#3746 where we need the same key C-s to search in the comint history and in the comint output buffer. PS: You can see the implementation of isearch in comint mode I just sent to bug#3746. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
